Signs of canopy die back and tree has overgrown its boundaries. T2 - Salix Babylonica - reduce by 30%. Tree is causing excessive shading of garden and requires reducing.

TG2 - Fagus and prunus - requires 3ft reducing of 3 trees adjacent to road to provide clearance from overhead power lines and to reduce overhang into road. Remarks:

2 Simms Close, Stanton St John, Oxford, OX33 1HB

Tree to the right hand side if facing down garden away from the house. 50% of the crown is dead most likely due to honey fungus in area. I have been asked to fell the tree to ground level. Remarks:

7 Brook Street, Watlington, Oxon, OX49 5JL

T1 - Ash Tree T1 - Ash tree. Fell to ground level. This tree divides into several stems from fairly low and is in early maturity. It overhangs the small rear garden of 7 Brook Street and causes excessive shading. It is increasing in size each year and the shading problem will only increase over time. This tree does not have significant amenity value. Mrs Molloy has the support of the neighbouring properties and also the Watlington Fire Station in her wish to remove this tree. Remarks:

12 Tweed Drive Didcot OX11 7XH

Erection of single storey rear extension.

4 Whitchurch House, High Street, Whitchurch on Thames, Oxon, RG8 7EP

T1 - Yew T2 - Yew T3 - Yew T4 - Yew T5 - Copper Beech T6 - Yew T7 - Yew T8 - Yew T9 - Sweet Chestnut T1 - Yew - large tree with a split at the foot (below ground). The north part of the tree is pressing on the curving brick wall which is a historical feature of the entrance to Manor Road. The wall has already been damaged and repaired in the past, but looks like it will soon be pushed over again. The south part of the tree is interfering with the telegraph lines to our house and other residences in Whitchurch House. I propose to have the north part of the tree cut down to ground level. I propose to have the south part cut back to give good clearance from the telephone lines, and crown reduce 20% of the remainder of the tree, i.e. reduce its height a little. T2 - Yew - large tree with a split trunk about 1.5 metres above ground into two parts. The north part is pressing on the wooden boundary fence, and has pushed it out of line, the trunk prevents the fence from being repaired. I propose to have this north part of the tree cut down as low as possible, to where it splits from the south part, i.e. about 1.5 metres above ground. I propose to crown reduce by 20% the south part of this tree i.e. reduce its height a little. T3 & T4 - Yews - Medium sized trees, rather shapeless, covered in ivy. Hang over Manor Road, and interfere with traffic and lighting. I propose to have them both cut down to 3 metres in height, and remove ivy. Being Yew trees, they should re-sprout from the trunk, making them bushy. With reduced height, they will be easier to maintain and with care will form a neat, solid cylindrical shape. T5 - Copper Beech - Large tree. To improve light, I propose a 15% crown trim. T6, T7 & T8 - Yews - Medium sized trees. Interfere with traffic and lighting on Manor Road. Reduce rainfall and dry out the ground so that it's almost impossible to grow anything underneath. I propose to have them cut down to 3 metres in height. Being Yew trees, they should re-sprout from the trunk. With reduced height they will be easier to maintain and with regular trimming they should form tight, formal-looking cylindrical shapes. T9 - Sweet Chestnut - Very large tree. In 2013 a significant branch fell during light winds, with a tickness of about 30cm at the point that it broke. Other minor parts of the tree this year look dead. The tree is above our garden where children play so it looks a little hazardous. I propose to have the tree inspected for dead or unhealthy branches and have them removed. In addition I propose to do a 15% crown trim to improve light. Remarks:
